Today I am not going to write about ideological issues in which I usually contribute my bit in terms of free expression.
I am writing this to tell my reality as a result of reading (or rather, my phone in accessibility mode reads to me), anonymous comments within articles that I have written, where it is clear that there is no; empathy, constructive criticism, assertiveness. And most importantly; HUMILITY.
I make many mistakes, including some spelling mistakes, but for me it is a merit to be able to do it with a visual impairment of 82% severe binocular visual acuity loss. (Congenital)
I have had to be resilient all my life (for having a disability, for being gay and for not being silent in the face of what harms me and what I don't think is right.
But I admire my ability that despite the great disability I have, I have always had a lot of help in terms of my studies, in my day to day, sometimes I don't even believe the luck I have had.
Some comments from the same profile said, and it is probably false, "A 10-year-old writes better than you" or something like that I remember, probably yes, surely a child
of 10 years old writes better than me, and I would be immensely happy that such a child can have critical thinking at such an early age and I imagine that the child you are referring to will not have an 82% VISUAL disability, (I put it in capital letters).
I know perfectly well that those comments are only to cause harm, but the reality is that you are not hurting me, you are hurting yourself because you reveal how vulnerable you are,
how much emotional education you lack and that "dear friend", is not fixed by "2 university degrees or 5 languages".
You don't hurt me because I have simply had to be resilient almost since I can remember, to offend me it takes more than the resentment that your words show.
And just as you have gone to university, let me tell you that I have also done it and I am currently studying at the EOI (Official School of Languages), you don't have to believe you are the last Coca-Cola in the desert.
I could give you an almost endless list of limitations that I have, including; driving, I always depend on someone and if I complain about public management it is basically because I
suffer it directly and among them the scarcity, mismanagement and malfunction of public transport.
And if I write this, it is not to play the victim or anything like that, it is for many people to understand that behind each letter, behind each profile, opinion article...etc, there is
a human person and in my case I am someone who has been resilient to the extreme.
Having a disability has not prevented me from raising my voice through the different means I have, and of course always thanking all those digital newspapers that
have often made room for me.
I only ask life that you never go through what unfortunately many people go through.
&And giving it a little touch of humor! More than being able to differentiate between "Oh! there is of there!"
